It isn't. Going from memory, the changes between 3 and 4 were mostly
related to the rasterization functions, and none of those changes are
visible to the application. Something similar can be said of the
changes between 4 and 5. Some extensions were implemented, but because
of OpenGL's design that's (or should be) irrelevant.

Packages shouldn't provide xlibmesa3-gl, it should provide libgl1.
